SCENE 1 It's the last day at Camp Echo Rock, and everyone is preparing to go back home. Big Bird feels sad that he’s leaving, but he's happy that he’s going back home to Sesame Street. Mickey tells him it's okay to be both sad and happy, and that it's natural to have mixed feelings. Aunt Mae assembles everyone for the Cabin 10 picture, which doesn't turn out to be easy as several mishaps ruin each time it's taken. When they have enough film for only one more picture, Big Bird spoils a perfect shot when he comments that a cloud above them looks like a birthday cake.
